Real-Time DDoS Mitigation Gives Linode a Competitive Edge
Developers can get virtual servers running in seconds at Linode, and that agility has driven the cloud provider’s growth to global scale. It now offers security with the same agility, with the ability to mitigate devastating DDoS attacks in real time.
Business Challenge
Thousands of DDoS attacks pummel Linode and its customers every month, but the network operations team hardly gives these potentially devastating attacks any thought. Instead, a combined DDoS detection and mitigation solution from Juniper and Corero Network Security enables Linode to stop even terabit-scale DDoS attacks automatically and in real time.
